(This email is also posted through H-Carribean) Hello, I realize that this is short notice, but I am writing to inquire whether anyone needs another panelist for the CLAH in San Diego or would be interested in forming a last-minute panel dealing with the seventeenth-century Caribbean. My own focus is on English versus Spanish settlement in the Caribbean, urban history of Jamaica, and changing definitions of empire. The paper I propose deals specifically with the Cromwellian Western Design and English takeover of Jamaica in 1655. My methodology draws from empire and colony- metropole studies usually focused on English empire in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I argue that these patterns of empire and struggles with colonial-domestic identity can actually be uncovered for the seventeenth century. Please let me know if you are interested.
